That is an understatement!
Not only is it scary what’s out there and who has that capability, but also how we are woefully under prepared for such attack’s.
I paid less than $500 for two, running at takeout, complete 6.2Ls in Military engine shipping containers.
Sold one that more than paid for both.
Had someone offer to sell another one for $600 by someone who stopped to talk about CUCVs when leaving a restaurant.
Point is, unless you want the...
I would check with your states DOT officer to see if it’s road legal.
The Military can tow around whatever it wants.
Once in civilian hands, that perk goes away.
Doesn't matter if it has brakes, reflectors, wiring plug, etc.
Height, width, tire size, load rating, lighting, intended use...
I wash the engine on my M1008A1 every month or so.
Engine is turned off and I stay away from alternators and air intake opening.
Simple.
No issues at all.
Doing it for over 3 years.
Same for every vehicle I own.
2006 GMC Sierra and 2008 Chevy Silverado included.
Have to wash my...
Plow = Abuse and salt.
I wouldn’t give that truck a second look.
Now the UH-1H and two AH-1s in the background........I would pay good $$$ for those.
Can you PM me any details about that location and Helo owners?
Have you bypassed the fuel pump and ran a hose from a fuel can direct to the IP?

Last I read you had fuel at filter bleed screw, but nothing going into the IP.
Obviously nothing coming out.
I had to apply some light...
I drive my M1008A1 off road almost every day on the ranch.
A lot of driving is on barely improved dirt roads between my land parcels.
Lots of holes and bumps.
Occasionally will hit the “WTF was that!”.
No cracks or fender issues and the Hawker 6TAGMs tip the scale at 88lbs each.
The Hawker and Odyssey 6AGMs are the best on the market.
Same price range as you’ve already found out.
My Hawkers are almost 4 years old and still solid.
You definitely get what you pay for in battery’s.
When I had my 5 ton, I did get 4 of the $200 6TLs and they worked fine.
Checking the...
I replaced the shocks on my trailers and it made a huge difference in the ride.
Much smoother!
The old shocks were completely shot.
I have stock rims and tires on both.
E rated.
If you go with a HMMWV tire or similar, it will raise the trailer up a few inches.
Makes reaching for something...
If you know all those parts are bad, replace them before trying to start it.
Do not use ether unless you want to rebuild engine.
Ether also will break the piston rings.
Ruins compression.
Actually I’m working on moving all the non gen threads out of the generator forum.
Finished the first pass.
Working on a second now. (Edit: Finished)
Will do a third to make absolutely sure I didn’t miss anything
With over 270 pages to go through, it is time consuming, but I asked for it...
